Travelling Guide to Oceania

Oceania

Home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, Oceania is as beautiful as it is warm. This continent has something for every kind of traveller – untouched nature, paradisiacal beaches, unrivalled marine life and some amazing cities. 

Thanks to its incredible beaches, Australia is the perfect choice for sunseekers. From the Great Barrier Reef to Surfers Paradise, there is no better place for a beach holiday. There’s also plenty on offer for city dwellers – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth have some of the best art galleries, museums, attractions and landmarks in the world. 

New Zealand also promises a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. While Australia is famous for its pristine beaches, large desert areas and hotter temperatures, New Zealand is known for its milder weather and untouched green landscapes. Travellers who love being out in nature will adore the stunning mountains, lakes, forests, volcanoes and national parks around the country, and the opportunities to hike, kayak, whale watch and even swim with dolphins. New Zealand is also home to Queenstown, the adventure capital of the world. This is the place for bungee jumping, mountain biking, paragliding, skydiving and white-water rafting. 

For true escapism, French Polynesia is also a must in Oceania. Bora Bora, in particular, is a popular destination among travellers thanks to its luxury resorts, stunning turquoise waters and flawless sandy beaches.
